Fans of Joker can rejoice—an official sequel to Todd Phillips’s acclaimed film is happening, this time with Lady Gaga along for the ride.
After months of speculation, Lady Gaga confirmed the major casting news on social media simply writing, “Joker: Folie à Deux 10.04.24,” alongside a quick clip featuring the silhouettes of Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker and what fans are assuming is the shadow of Harley Quinn, the Joker’s most famous love interest.
In the comics, Harley Quinn is the criminal persona of Dr. Harleen Quinzel, a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum who eventually falls in love with her patient Arthur Fleck, better known as the Joker. Reportedly, the film will take place in a universe separate from the Suicide Squad movies, which star Margot Robbie.
Joker made more than $1 billion worldwide at the box office and scored Phoenix his first Oscar, for Best Actor, in 2020. Though the plot for the sequel is still tightly under wraps, Deadline reported that Phillips is returning as director and this time around, the film will be a musical.
